Insect cyborgs may become first responders: Search and monitor hazardous places

This bothers me for some reason. I have no problem with nano tech but this is subjecting the will of another creature...I see all kinds of karma issues with this one.

I know they are "just bugs"...but what if these "just bugs" have a way of collective consceinceness that can communicate to the hive mentaility and punish man for the slave labor.

Yep, too many sci fi books in my past but...what if...??????

Ty sagewillow..This is an interesting post..Thought at first you were getting a little kinky though with the "wee little strap on" bit.

I really don't see how something as small as an insect could be a First Responder to much of anything..Their way to slow and the way I see it, we already have Robots for that sort of thing.
